A Message for KDE.News ("the Dot")

In general, people appreciate a little visual stimulation when reading an article. You can do that by adding an abstract artwork to your article.

Abstract artwork is what displays on the side of the first paragraph of an article. Have a look at Konqi's Wikipedia page and you'll get the idea. Normally, you can use a screenshot, a photos or an icon in that corner. But there are times when you have nothing to work with, and that is when Konqi and other KDE dragons come to rescue!

For Dot, you can click the "edit summary" button to make adjustment to the abstract text. Make sure both the abstract text and the abstract artwork show up on the front page.

Overview gallery

This section lists the thumbnails of the available artworks, each with suggestions or their usage, for quick overview.
